General
Why can’t you spell “Motivation”?
It is named after the original sponsor of our mid week road race series. It was a local motor accessories company called “Mota-vation”, it was owned and run by an early member of KRC: Mike Dunmore. Despite the fact that he had little evidence that his business benefitted from the sponsorship, he continued to back the race for years. When he retired and closed down the buiness he gave us the name and the logo forever. Thanks Mike.
Entry & race numbers
Do I have to be a member of a running club in order to enter?
While the majority of entrants are attached to running clubs, we also welcome “unattached” runners.
Can I enter races individually rather than the whole series?
Most participants enter the whole series. We offer individual entry to Charlton as that is part of the Oxfordshire Grand Prix. After Charlton, we will assess capacity and decide if there is space to open up individual entry to other races.
Can I enter on the night?
There are no entries available on the night, sorry.
How do I collect my number?
You’ll have the opportunity to pick up race numbers for yourself or your club on Wednesday 16th April *(just over one week before the start of the series). The pick up will be between 5pm and 6.30pm at the KRAC HQ, Stratfield Brake, OX5 1UP.
*Note the change from previous announcement.
You can also collect on race night, as in previous years. If you are not able to take part in the first race, your number will still be available for collection at the remaining races.
I’ve lost/damaged my race number – what shall I do?
You should use the same number throughout the series, so please be careful with it!
But if you have accidentally damaged your number, please come to the Entries Desk at the next race where you will be issued with a new number and timing chip. Our database will be updated with your new number so please keep the new number, even if you find the old one! There will be a small admin fee for all replacements, so please look after your number.
Is it still possible to enter via post?
From 2024, we have switched to online entries.
I entered one race, now I want to enter another – do I keep the same number?
Yes, please enter the other race(s) online, and keep the same number. Please come to the Entries Desk and inform us that you already have a number and we’ll sort everything out.
Results
Why am I not appearing in the race results?
Occasionally the chip timing system does not pick up a runner crossing the line, for example, if the runner has their hand over the area with the chip. If you notice that you are not in the results, please use the contact information on the Results page.
Will my results appear on the Power of 10 website?
Yes, we will submit the results via Run Britain. Please note that it can take a few days for the results to be published on the Power of 10 website.
Races
Do you have a cut-off time?
Yes, the course will be closed after 1 hour and 10 minutes. If you are likely to take over 1 hour for our 4 mile courses, you may find there are not many other runners around. Please look at the past race results to get an indication of how many runners are likely to be with you.
